dont worry about it. drain what you can, spin on a new filter, prime the oil pump and crank without spark plugs.

I have dried out a boat motor(350 chevy in Mercruiser form) that sank in a boat at the dock(saltwater too), dried it out, changed the oil, drained fuel, etc, and the engine is still FINE today, hundreds of hours later. At least 4 gallons of salt water was in the engine. It did need a new starter after a few months, but that was the only expense other than oil and carb cleaner.

carb cleaner, compressed air, new oil and a filter are all you need.
